Agricultural xispartment.
Regarding the dehorning of cattle a
Western paper says that experience
teaches that the growth of the horn
can be stopped by applying a red-hot
iron to the horn germ in calves.
Permanent pasture lands are the
main anchor of agriculture, and the
farmers of this country will find this
out after a while, as they already
have in England, and will commence
seeding their land with permanent
grasses.
The cherry is about the only fruit
tree which can be recommended for
shade in pastures, along roadsides, as
the hardy varieties of cherries are not
affected by the tramping of stock or
passing of vehicles, which would prove
injurious to most other fruit trees.
A farmer in Ashby, Mass., writes
that he got a tin pan large enough to
hold one milking from ten cows, but
got less butter from it than he did
from the same amount of milk in
smaller pans. He asks whether he
should have set the pan in water, the
temperature of the air being 62 de
grees to 65 degrees. Certainly he
should have done so. The great se
cret of successful dairying, or one of
the great secrets, is to withdraw' the
animal heat from the milk as soon as
possible. A pan, such as is described,
seems to- me much less suitable for
the purpose than a deep and-narrow
can, set to its neck in the water. The
latter is more conveniently skimmed
and more easily handled, cools more
rapidlv, and exposes a larger propor
tion of the milk to the influence of the
water and less to that of the air; this
is better, as the temperature of the
water is uniform. To answer further
questions of the same correspondent:
We let our milk stand 24 hours (all
the time in the water;) and we prefer
to keep it lower than 62 degrees. I
fancy that 50 degrees would be better,
if so cold a spring could be had, and
Mr. Swartz in Sweden uses ice-water,
at about 40 degrees. The colder the
water, the larger the diameter of the
can mav be. If the water stands at
GO degrees, then a diameter of 8 inch
es is large enough. The point is to
have the mass of milk cooled as soon
as practicable. If it were first passed
through a cooler, then the can might
be of any size that would not expose
too much surface to the air.
We hear a great deal about the “an
imal heat" of milk, and we do not al
ways stop to think that animal heat
is exactly the same as any other heat.
It is produced by the combustion of a
different fuel in a different sort of
stove, but as heat it is the same as
though it came from an anthracite
fire. Fresh, cooled milk, raised again
to blood-heat, bv being set over a fire,
would be as badly off as though it
still retained its “animal” heat.
Food for the brain and nerves that
will invigorate the body without in
toxicating, is what we need in these
days of rush and worry. Parker’s
Tonic restores the vital energies,
soothes the nerves, and brings good
health quicker than any thing you

A Heavy Pear.
The Rawkinsville News says: “We
saw a pear last Saturday, grown on
Mr. William Henderson's place, that
w-eighed one and a half pounds. This,
we think, is the same species of Mr. B.
W. Ftissell’s fine pear. Mr. Fussell’s
have just commenced ripening and
are very large and delicious. One
week ago the tree contained over 600,
and it was stripped of this number by
the storm in June. Mr. Fussell’s pear
has no name, but we think the Au
tumn Prolific an appropriate one, and
such we shall call it when we have
occasion to mention it. It far sur
passes the Le Conte in size and flavor,
and ripens at a season when fruit is in
demand. ^
“When will the average citizen stop

HARROWING CORN.
Value of Poultry Manure.
Henry Stewart says, in the New
York Times, that every farmer values
the manure from the poultry house
for its use on corn, cabbage, and oth
er field and garden crops. He knows
how it is immediately taken up by
these crops, changing the pale color
to a deep green, and starting a luxu
riant growth. It is one of the problems
of the art of fertilizing that certain
manures exert an effect quite dispro
portionate to their supposed fertili
zing value. Thus, in 100 pounds of
poultry manure there are 2 pounds of
phosphoric acid, 1 pound of potash,
and 2± pounds of nitrogen; in 100
pounds of fresh wood ashes there are
6 pounds of potash and 3 pounds of
phosphoric acid; in 100 pounds of plas
ter there are 75 to 90 pounds of sul
phate of lime in all, 5 pounds of phos
phoric acid, 2 1-4 pounds of nitrogen,
7 pounds of potash, 40 pounds of sul
phuric acid, and 45 pounds of lime.
Quite a poor and cheap fertilizer
wou Jd be as rich as this, but the effect
of this home-made mixture is often
superior to that of a high grade, cost
ly fertilizer. . The reason is not hard
to find. It is that these substances
are soluble and in an active condition,
and furnish the crops with plant food
suitable to their needs and readily
available. This is a most important
point that should be well understood,
for it lies at the very bottom of the art
and practice of manuring.
Mr. A. Fueger, GOG Walnut street,
St. Louis, Mo., suffered for two years
with lumbago, and was confined to
his bed for several months. He was
entirely cured by the use of St. Ja^
cobs Oil, which he says is also the
best cure for sprains and all other
pains.

Bismarck’s Lofty Family.
From the North German Gazette.
Men who are intellectually great
are not always as physically well de
veloped as Prince Bismark, who is
the tallest, and probably also the most
stalwart, of first-class European
statesmen. On one of the posts of the
door of the study at Fredrichsrulie
the height of each member of the
imperial chancellors’s family was
solemnly registered on the last dav of
1880 by the chancellor himself; and'the
penciled inscriptions, which are still to
be seen there, areas follows, the mea
surements being given in centimetres:
Prince Bismarck, 6 feet 2 inches; Her
bert, 6 feet If inches,'•Bill (Count Wil
liam), 6 and 4 inches; Rantzau (Count
Rantzau, the prince’s son-in-law, 5
feet 104 inches; Johanna (Princess
Bismarck,) “standing on tip-toe,” 5-
feet 84 inches; Marie (Countess Ran-
tzau), 5 feet 8 inches. If we put aside J £ 1 . e m ^ i e n d e 1 (
as unworthy of credence the ungal
lant assertion that Princess Bismarck
cheated the measure, we find that the
average height of the six members of
the family is slightly over 5 feet 11
inches. A well-grown race, the Bit-
marcks, evidently.
A Cotton Picker.
A TRIAL WHICH DEMONSTRATES THAT
IT CAN BE MADE A COMPLETE
SUCCESS.
Sumter, S. C., Oct. 13.—Tl:e cot
ton picking machine of the Mason
Cotton Harvester Company, invented
by C. T. Mason, of this place, was test
ed to-day in a field in the presence of
the committees from the New York
Cotton Exchange and the Charleston
exchange and representatives of the
State Agricultural Department. The
machine picked cotton at the rate of
180 pounds per hour without injuring
the bolls or plants. The general opin
ion of those present is that the ma
chine is correct in its principle, does
fairly good work now and can be made
completely successful.

“The higher it is till it begins to
stalk the less danger of hurting it, j
because it is better rooted every day
and less liable to be pulled up. After
that you can put in your cultiva
tors. But don’t lay aside the
harrow as long as you can
use it. This is the method now
followed by many and I think it is the
very best. I harrowed corn last year
when a foot high with the flexible j
harrow, much I believe, to its advan- j
tage. Once over with an ordiharv !
rigid harrow will not do as effective i
work as with the cultivator, but j
tne ninety-tooth flexible harrow cuts
ten feet and every one of ninety teeth
makes a mark, which are therefore one
and one-third inches apart.”—M. H.

Lincolnton News: The statement
that there is, within one hundred and
fifty yards of the courthouse in Lin
colnton, a warm spring gushing up
boldly from a fissure in a solid rock
mass, will no doubt astonish our cit
izens; but this statement is true, nev
ertheless, and we may suppose it has
thus run on for centuries past. Its
character was accidently discovered
last week by Mr. J. D. Colley, but its
distinctive mineral qualities, and it is
certainly mineral, have not yet been
exactly ascertained. It has a slightly
sulphurous taste, but is not at all
disagreeable; it probably also con
tains lime and feels peculiarly smooth
to the tongue. It will be duly analyz
ed in the next few days. Those who
have drunk the water pronounce it,
beyond all question, sanitary.
